Statement of Work (Sample)

Spur D Invasive Tree Control

The purpose of the project is to perform non-native invasive species (NNIS) control within the 20.4 acre Spur D contract area. All Tree-of-Heaven (Ailanthus altissima) and Princess tree (Paulownia tomentosa) trees and saplings ≥ 2 feet in length/height shall be treated via the Category 2.3 (hack-and-squirt) treatment method. The contractor shall place a horizontal series of downward sloping cuts into the trees and saplings that sever the connective tissue (xylem and phloem) of the target species. Within two minutes of the cuts, the contractor shall apply FS-approved herbicide at label directed strength to the cuts. The herbicide will then translocate through the connective tissues, causing eventual mortality to the above and below ground tissues. Contractor must achieve, at minimum, 90% mortality rate on the entire infestation of Tree-of-Heaven and Princess tree within the contract area. COR and designated contract inspectors will carry out inspections 14 days after treatment completion to allow for herbicide translocation and assess mortality.

The contract time period is slated to begin on June 1, 2016. A total of 60 working days are allotted for this contract. Contractor shall mobilize all equipment and supplies to site. Maps shall be provided by USFS. Before implementation, the contract officer’s representative will meet the contractor on site.

Ingress to site is marked on the project map via Forest and County roads. Available parking is also marked on the maps.

COTR would like to award on best value to the government rather than minimum bid. Past performance will be factored into the award. Also, application technique knowledge, technical bid proposal, spill prevention, and tree identification skills will be factored into the award decision.

Contractor shall notify Wayne NF personnel no less than 48 hours prior to the planned start of contract work. Contract will be awarded on the basis of best value to the government, and not strictly by lowest price.
